Why is copper used for most electrical wiring

Physics
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]3 years ago
3 0

When you build electrical circuits, you want to use the BEST CONDUCTOR to make the wires, so you won't lose too much energy in the wires.

The best conductor is Silver. But when you see what it costs, your heart sinks. You begin to think that maybe you can get along without the #1 BEST conductor; maybe the #2 best conductor will work.

The #2 best conductor is copper. People almost always make do with #2.

A circular bird feeder 19.0 cm in radius has rotational inertia 0.130 kg·m2. It's suspended by a thin wire and is spinning slowl
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

N₂=20.05 rpm

Explanation:

Given that

R= 19 cm

I=0.13 kg.m²

N₁ = 24.2 rpm

\omega_1=\dfrac{2\pi \times 24.2}{60}\ rda/s

ω₁= 2.5 rad/s

m= 173 g = 0.173 kg

v=1.2 m

Initial angular momentum L₁

L₁ =  Iω₁  - m v r       ( negative sign because bird coming opposite to motion of the wire motion)

Final linear momentum L₂

L₂=  I₂ ω₂

 I₂ = I + m r²

The is no any external torque that is why angular momentum will be conserve

L₁ = L₂

Iω₁  - m v r =  I₂ ω₂

Iω₁  - m v r =  ( I + m r²) ω₂

Now by putting the all values

Iω₁  - m v r =  ( I + m r²) ω₂

0.13 x 2.5 - 0.173 x 1.2 x 0.19 =  ( 0.13 + 0.173 x  0.19²) ω₂

0.325  - 0.0394 = 0.136 ω₂

ω₂ = 2.1 rad/s

\omega_2=\dfrac{2\pi \times N_2}{60}

N₂=20.05 rpm
